It is very convenient to shop and transportation. The hotel is old or not good condition. The shower room is not very useful, towels hanger is too high, the toilet is not good flashing and the water sound always heard near the bed’s headboard to make sleep so hard. This is my first time to use APA hotel, the check out time no one is front counter, I just drop the room card but no explanation at the first day. I do not think I will not use APA hotel again even very good rate.

Great location and service, could be reno’ed.

The hotel location was excellent as it was a short walk to Yamagata station and close to restaurants, cafes, and shops. The service we received was also excellent. Everyone was very friendly, helpful and spoke English. Also, the floor we were on had a coin washer / dryer which was very convenient. Our room however was older and probably should be renovated. Our room was also a smoking room (no other rooms available and we were aware it was a smoking room at the the time of booking so this is not a criticism of the hotel). If you don’t smoke, don’t assume you’ll be able to just live with it like we did as it was really smoky.

Nice hotel with friendly, helpful staff. The rooms are clean, spacious and well maintained. Location is within 10 minutes walk of the train station. There are many restaurants nearby (including an excellent grilled fish restaurant) and a convenience store is located just across the street.

Disappointing room and bath facilities

The room was very small with no closet and no place to put my luggage except on the floor to step over. The bathroom was clean but had only a soaking tub with side 2 1/2 feet from floor. Having knee problems, I was unable to step over the side and into the tub. Used sink to shampoo and bathe. I checked out after the first night and found hotel with regular tub. Continental breakfast consisted of coffee and bread rolls wrapped in cellophane.

Liked: Cleanliness

Minimal but adequate

Room was very small but manageable. Perfunctory is the word that comes to mind. The facilities were clean, but as minimal as possible. Outlets were scarce, though the front desk had an extension card I could borrow. There is breakfast included but it's really only bread/toast, margarine, jam, and coffee/tea drinks. Etc, etc. I would have been happier staying here for business than with a friend.

Loved this place and will stay here again

We loved it here. The star rating system here seems different. We were expecting less but were pleasantly surprised with how good the service and room amentities were. We lived the bathroom and slept well, as it was very quiet.

Nice and clean. People/staff are very helpful. This hotel to me looks alike a business hotel despite its size, it delivered what it could to customers very nicely. I look forward to staying in these hotels around Japan in the furture

Great value

Could do with a bit of modernising (especially the bathrooms), but for the money...can't complain. Was also very useful and unexpected to find staff that speak English in this area of Japan.

Review

I only stayed here one night as a stop over in my travels, but no complaints. One of te staff spoke really fluent English, which is a bit of a surprise in this part of Japan. The other staff I communicated with in Japanese, though I never tested their English do they could have been just as good, who knows?
